It’s a new year, and a new start for many of the families featured in Statesman Season for Caring. This week we’re highlighting the progress they have made since we introduced you to them on Nov. 27, and what needs the families still have.

Delilah and Olais have been diagnosed with a thin-tissue illness called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The family is waiting to learn whether Noah also has it. The disease causes easy bruising, and it limits the kind of jobs possible for Olais, who works in the kitchen of a barbecue restaurant.
